I noticed missing teeth, massive arm hair, and other things too, but never did I notice fingernails.

Weird.
But you were kind enough not to mention my missing teeth or massive arm hair, which puts you in the lead as gentleman.

Ever since that date I've been focusing on fingernail polish. Black = Goth to me. I don't want to date a Goth girl. I did however compliment a girl sitting next to me a plane about her fingernail polish/art. Sexy pink.

See, you just proved right there that you're straight. No gay guy would ever confuse a sweatshort with a blouse

You should have told him your polish was chipped because you were helping a little old lady change a tire.

I get that you aren't offended - I wonder if you drew attention to your nails sub-conciously because YOU knew they were chipped. And, he called you on it!

I really wonder why you expect less out of a guy - but then you have these really high expectations for yourself.

You've said before that you expect the guy to pay - and that you keep up your end by looking nice and keeping the conversation rolling, etc. But I hope that you are looking for a guy that puts just as much effort into a date as you do.

You don't want to have a realtionship with someone that is so petty. The good news is you found out early in the relationship.

LOOKING... very thoughtful comments. I agree to your points, and wish I had come up with the tire story!!

You know... I wonder if this was the case ! I think I tried to cover them up, but maybe that drew some attention to them. Either way, he did not mean it in a rude way... just, a hmmmm.... I see you've gotten your nails done recently ... smirky, kinda way.

Physical appearance means a lot to ALL of the guys that I have dated, even the ones who say that it does not mean much to them. It does... now, don't get me wrong... intelligence, humor, means a lot to A LOT of the guys that I have dated, but those things matter to ALL of the guys whom I have gone on second or third dates with. So, yes, I expect a lot out of myself when it comes to being able to hold a good conversation, look nice, etc. I also expect a guy that puts as much effort into the date as I do... but his effort does not have to be in the same places.

I have to confess, I have had a man comment on nail polish before. He said, "I like your pink toe nails." Of course, I guess I'd called attention to them by kicking off my shoes and walking around his place barefoot.

This was also the guy who needed to show me his 2,000+ cd collection, had a walk-in closet full of Hawaiian shirts in his bathroom, and refused to have actual sex (even with 'precautions') because he had a germ phobia, but didn't mind swapping saliva for hours. He was definitely straight, maybe a bit OCD, and brilliant, but certainly one of the odder people I've met.

Which is why you got the girl, dear man. Because you are a true gentleman.
